It's Just Crazy Enough It Might Work! Sensible Cars and Health Care

Instead of bailing out the auto companies, why not invest that money in universal health care? The advantages would be:
1.) These "health care providers that also make cars" (GM spends more on employee health care than steel) could put the savings into retooling their factories.
2.) America would join the rest of the civilized world in providing health care for its citizens (who would then have more money to buy cars!).

(An alternate plan would be to turn those billions into $10,000.00 vouchers that Americans could use to buy only American-made cars. This would put money in Detroit and force the "Big Three" to build cars that American consumers want.)
